The ability to add steel beam web openings would be very helpful. SBeam is the only way to do that now, but it requires pulling loads out of Elements, instead of being integrated into the main program or even the steel beam module.

Currently when the user exports data to CSV, it's basically a text version of the pdf data output. The organization of data is difficult to post-process because the data has page headers based on load cases and combinations (among other items). At...

Add Fixed end beams to the gravity beams for design.

Currently for beam to column connections, if the beam is HSS then the column must also be HSS. This is very limiting. It would be nice to allow HSS beam to WF column connections. The forces are often shear, moment & torsion. It would be great ...

99% of the details I have seen for vertical x-bracing shows one member continuous. I design a lot of connections for a steel fabricator and I am always required to perform a hand calc or 2 ram connection calcs with one being the horizontal X-brace...

This feature will save the user runtime by not analysis the model again and again after it is closed once your working hours are done and next day engineer can pick it up from the same page where he left without re analysis the model, sometimes th...

I need to access results from the cross section auditor to perform additional calculations outside of RAM Concept. However, I am not able to extract area of steel (for the user reinforcement, program designed reinforcement seems to be available), ...

I would love to have gridlines to help keep everything straight. Also, a toggle switch that doesn't allow you to select the grids.

Please Incorporate the Splice Connections consider the seismic provisions from AISC 341-10 codes in RAM connection software. This will be very useful for High seismic zone.

I don't need multiple design warnings for the same condition. For example, I have an out-of-plane shear strength warning for one of my segments. I have 26 warnings (associated with 26 combinations) for the same condition. The "worst" one listed in...
